The George D. Worth Post 574 and Auxiliary met at Perkins on Nov. 12.

The five West Branch students who attended Boys State and Girls State were invited to have lunch and give a report on their experiences. They each spoke about the offices they ran for, the evening activities, such as band and choral concerts, forming lasting friendships, and meeting Gov. John Kasich and other state officials. They all said they felt it was the experience of a lifetime and expressed appreciation to the Legion for sponsoring them. The Knox Ruritan Club also donated towards the expenses.

Following the students' reports, the members held their business meetings. The post voted to give two annual $500 scholarships to West Branch High School. The auxiliary voted to donate $100 to The Concern in Sebring to go toward Christmas baskets.
